How to Make u Muff.

Muffs are required to complete costumes
at the present time, and the dressmaker is
supposed to furnish them with the gowns
she fashions. A few hints, perhaps, may
be grateful to the home dressmaker, who
would gladly make them IT she only knew
how. These mutfs are plainly covered or
fulled OF and ornamented with a ribbon
bow. The muff we will describe, says
GOdey's Ladys Book, has full covering,
and is made of the same material as the
dress, whether this be of wooden fabric,
Of silk, or of velvet or plush. The shape is
so simple that 1t may easily be made, even
| by those who have not much skill III such
matters; and the expense need not be large,
even if good materials he employed. The
materials required consist of square Of
wadding, measuring twenty inches each way;
piece of surah silk for the lining, seven
teen inches by twenty foui inches f.; q piece
Of material for the ouer part, twenty
inches long and eighteen inches wide; and
one and three-quarters yards of satin
.ibbon to trim the mutt. The piece of
wadding is folded in three, reducing
it to long strip about six inches wide, and
covered with piece of soft muslin. This
long strip is again folded in three the other
wav, making the foundation of the mutf;
the two folds of wadding are tackled, and
\ it should be remembered in making up the
mutf, that this thick part is the inner side
of the mutf, or the part held nearest to the
figure. The left hand is then slipped
through the opening, and kind of plat
Is made at the top of the wadding and Sc
cured with u few stitches. This gives the
wadding foundation the shape of the mutf.
The lining comes next; the length of surah
is folded in two, selvedge to selvedge, and
neatly Joined on the wrong side; it is then
slipped through the mutf with the same
amount of surah beyond the edge on each
side. The surah is folded back at each
end, not too closely, but leaving a certain
amount of play between the wadding
and the surah. The lining is ar
:anged in plaits, as regularly as may be,
and these are tackled down onto the wad-
ding, the two ends of the surah meeting in
he center. The piece of material that is to
form the covering is joined in the same
vay Of the surah lining, the two longest
ides being those thus joined At each end
of this, three and half inches Of the ma
terial are turned back, and row of gath
ers is run about three inches from til
| folded edge. Before drawing up the gath
ers, the mutt is put inside the covering, tn
seam being on the inner side, the gathere
threads are then tightened, and the ma
terial is arranged in place and joined to IL
muff by stitches along the gathers. Thi
forms a kind of ruche at each end of Il
muff and a full centre. Care must {
course, be taken that the surah lining doe
not show beyond the ruches. The DO
consists of three loops closely drawn in an
one short end. The ribbon is carried in
diagonal line across the muff, and term
mates in two longer loops and an end fal

SATURDAY. MORNING. JAN. 90. 1887

A REMARKABLE woman died a few
days ago at Villa RIGA, Ca, aged 80
years. She was a midwife, and during
her life she was at the birth of 519
white children and BAT colored, and
she never lost one of these or its
mother. She was the mother of ten
children, one hundred grandchildren,
City great-grandchildren, and eleven
great-great grandchildren. For eighty
years she was consistent member of
the Methodist Church. Just before her
death she sa d to her son: Il am 60
ing home" He asked: Mother, are
you not home now?" and she said joy
fully: mo, am going to my heavenly
home" And thus she passed peace
fully away.

SONG.
BIZ WILLIAM HAuaHroN.

What shall I do for my true love
10 make life's way more bright?
What gems shall be her treasure-troveP
What pearls her life's delight,
That when her gentle steps grow weak,
When time and toll have paled her cheek,
She'll backward turn, with kindling glanc
And live again life sweet romance?
1 cannot buy the queenly gem,
Nor costly work Of art;
But hers shall be a ia1em
More dear to womans heart
Ill crown her queen with radiance rare,
And love shall be her scepter fair:
My heart of hearts with peace she'll bless,
And meet its need with tenderness.
I'll bring her pearls, but they shall be
Such as the angels prize;
Not from the mine, nor from the sea,
Whose glory dims and dies,
But tender thoughts, and deeds that tell
OF love on which her love may dwell
The helping hand, the heart to take
Each heavier Cross for her dear sake.
This will do for my true love,
Tocharm away her fears;
And this shall be her treasure trovo
Through all the coming ears.
And should the way be dark and long
She'll lean upon me and be strong;
She'll rest upon my heart and feel
Life has no ill but love can heal.

4; CONGRESSMAN McCREARY, of Ken.
lucky, recently treated the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the House, of
which he is a member, to little story
at the expense of Sunset" Cox. He
said that twenty years ago or more,
just after he had left college, his father
told him that inasmuch as he had COM
pleted his studies and was at an age
when he should begin life in earnest,
it might be we'll for him to see little
of the world. Receiving from the pater-
nal hand fairly liberal sum of money
for his expenses. he started on visit
to the East, New York being his OBJ
jective point. While on the train he
noticed that at the prominent stations
on the way large accessions were made
to the number of passengers. He also
observed that they all knew each other
and seemed to be OH particularly good
terms. Growing somewhat suspicious,
he was led at last to make in
quiries respecting their character and
destination. He was told that they
were members of Congress on their
way to Washington, where that body
was already assembling. He conclud-
ed, therefore, to make his first stop at
the capital, On visiting the House of
Representatives he saw man speaking
vigorously on the floor. He asked his
neighbor in the gallery who the orator
was, and in reply was told that it was
ASam" Cox. After listening t. him a
long while, and seeing no signs of the
speech coming to an end, he arose and
left the gallery. Twenty years and
more passed, and he was himself elect
ed to Congress. Previous to taking
his seat, however, he visited the Capt.
toll, and when he entered the House of
Representatives for the first time he
saw the same man speaking from the
same place on the floor. The orator
had grown bald meanwhile, and was
slightly gray. He was showing signs of
exhaustion, and soon closed his speech.
At this point of his narrative Gov.
McCreary, turning to Mr.. Cox, said no
had had the pleasure of hearing the
beginning and the end of the speech,
and it would be q source of lifelong
regret that he had not remained to
hear the middle of it.

"No," SAID Congressman Eustace
Gibson, of West Virginia, Il am not
sending copies of the Congressional
Record TO the country newspapers in
my Congressional district this year.
Last year put nearly all of them on
my list for the Congressional Record.
I had also subscribed for many of these
papers, and noticed that when I re-
ceived them they were wrapped in q
leaf torn from the Record. Appar-
emily the editors used the Records for
newspaper wrappers. During the
summer 1 visited several of these
newspaper offices, and in some instances
I noticed that Records that 1 had sent
to the editors had not even been
opened"

Nor long ago the owner of fine new
mansion in Washington wished to give
a house-warming ball. To be sure that
the invitations should go all right he
had the superintendent of the carriers
department of the city postoilico to
recommend the most trustworthy car
rier, and the carrier was given $25 to
deliver the 200 invitations outside OF
his regular working-hours. The ball
came off with about twenty guests
present, and then it was found that the
other persons invited had never re-

spent his $25 in drink, and had thrown
the box full of invitations into vacant
lot, where they were afterward found.

A SCOTCH shipbuilder has submitted
to the Admiralty the plans of novel
war-vessel intended for the defense of
the Clyde and other estuaries. The
vessel is $50 feet long, 80 feet wide,
and is divided into 80 water-tight COM
partments by bulkheads; the bottom
of the hull describes a segment of a
circle, allowing the vessel to turn on
its axis; and above the waterline she
has a steel belt two feet thick, and
sloping up and down, so that shot
striking the apex of the belt would be
shattered, or glance off if it struck the
slope. Her armament consists of two
powerful guns, one placed fore and the
other aft. The funnel is made on q
telescope principle, and on deck when
in action there would be nothing on
which shot could take effect except
the guns.

DEMOCRATIC Discomfort

Last summer the Democratic=clu oil
Philadelphia protested against the ap-
pointment and retention of so many
Republican Federal office-holders in
that city. This they did in resolutions
which were published. Privately the
Democrats declared that if the policy of
the administration in this matter were
continued, the party would be literally
swamped. At the recent municipal
election in Philadelphia the Democrats
were SO badly demorallzed and so
greatly disheartened that the Republi-
can majority amounted to 10000. The
Congressional and State elections last
fall told story OF Democratic despond
ency which could not be misunder-
stoad. and that story will be retold at
every election until Federal Demo
cratic administration fills the Federal
Offices with Democrats.

OUR DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

The United States have been without
minister 10 Austria since Major
Kelley was rejected by that>government
eighteen months ago; yet none of our
citizens in Austria have been subjected
to inconvenience, and no American in
terest has suffered by reason of the alb
sence from the court of Emperor Francis
Joseph of $l7 ,50O-a-year United States
m mister. We have had ministers at
the other European capitals, but they
have been entirely ornamental-not
useful, in any sense. Steam and cleo
tricity have made these high-priced
officials unnecessary. It is only mat
ter of hours for { the authorities at
Washington to communicate with Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Peters
burg or Constantinople, and in
the event of any question aris-
ing, it would have to be referred
to Washington for settlement. as our
ministers, either from incompetency or
want of authority, can adjust nothing.
When it required weeks or months to
communicate with a foreign nation, a
resident minister was highly import
ant and very necessary official, but he
is so no longer, and the Office should be
abolished. All that our diplomatic
establishment is good for is to provide
places for politicians who want to live
abroad and have a good time at the
nations expense. 1t is inconsistent with
SIMPLE, republican ideas to maintain
these gaudy, expensive, but useless
establishments.

dence TO support than this, namely,
that this medicine of comprehensive
uses checks the formidable and afro
cious disease, nor is it less positively
established that it is preferable to the

THERE Is one circumstance which in
eiines observing people to the belief that
the President will veto 1.-the BILL" The
Loyal League'lobbyists, Governor West,
Marshal Dyer and the other League re-
representatives. and sympathizers who
have been ia Washington have all proven
themselves the falsest of false prophets
in regard to the bill. They all declared
positively that Senator Edmunds was
in perfect harmony with Tucker and
would put the latter's bill through the
Senate without change, but they were
clearly wrong. They said the reference
of the bill to conference committee
did not mean any change in the text,
but was solely the shortest cut to the
passage of the bill by the Senate; but
events showed that the knowing gentle
men were in error. They have all said
that the President would promptly sign
the bill, but he has had it on his table
five DAYS and has not yet approved it.
If Mr.. Cleveland shall sign the bill he
will break the otherwise clean record of
the Loyal League lobbyists as false
prophets.

THE TUCKER-EDMUNDs BILL was signed
by the President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House of Representatives
last Saturday, and reached the Presi-
dent on Monday. The President need
not, therefore, act upon it before next
Thursday. The suggestion that he will
follow the course of Lincoln with the
anti polygamy act of 1862, and permit
it to become law without his signature,
does an injustice TO Cleveland who has
the courage to approve or veto the bill
as he deems it right or proper. 1t is
said that in the case of the two or three
bills which became law without the
executive signature, they were over.

would have vetoed has ever become law
